    Isn't it terrible. I just see a kid in one, especially a boy, and I can't look! It just looks so uncomfortable. I just walk past them with my little guy in a sling and hope they see it and ask me about it. My husband says I'm a baby wearing snob!

    I generally go up and comment on how beautiful their baby is...etc and then ask how they like their carrier. If they say something about it hurting their neck/shoulders I give them some BWing info and tell them there are many great alternatives. If they like their Bjorn, I don't push...Hmm [^o)]

    I do kinda feel bad for the little one hanging like that...

    What's worse is, before we learned 'better', we got one (non-returnable) during pregnancy.  It was still spendy, and now I am trying to figure out how to sell it to minimize losses (and fund something else) and not feel guilty.  :(

    *sigh*

    It does bother me a little. But the Snuggli/ Bjorn is all DH uses. Still swears it works for him. So cannot preach too much about it.
    But when the baby looks uncomfortable. I do ask them, how they like? ETC. Then pull out an ATB, BH, FH or TBW card. And if you know all those codes and what they stand for..

    YES! :( The other day we were taking a walk around our neighborhood, and we saw a baby sleeping in one-her little head, arms, and legs were just flailing about! She looked so awfully uncomfortable!

    We just got back from vacation at Disney World.  Oh my, it sure does make me cringe now!!!!  Those poor mama's that are arching their back all day long, I could feel my back hurting for them!  And the babies, they were swinging all over.  I can't imagine how overstimulated they must get when facing out in a place like that!  Thank goodness for the Mei Tai and Hot Slings, they made our vacation!

    LOL, maybe it used to.  But TBH, if they're wearing their baby, and the baby and babywearer looks happy, then hey, at least they're babywearing, right?  The Bjorn was all we used for ds#1 and up until I bought DH a Patapum, it was all DH would use for ds#2, too.

    I'm more likely to cringe when I see them in an enormous stroller, holding their own bottle, staring at people's knees.  My husband also only uses the Bjorn but our daughter is too small to face out yet.
